Dry clean!(with a gel stick) .. long post warning too!

Apparently Sony camera users should avoid using the gel sticks.

I suppose this makes a bit of sense in a couple of ways.

Their SLT models don't get dust on the sensor, but dust on the mirror .. mirrors are usually very fragile, and at an angle so this makes perfectly good sense.
Their other main models all seem to be mirrorless, and hence the sensor is more exposed.
From what I'm understanding of many mirrorless cameras is that the sensor filter packs are thicker than most DSLRs. Could be coated differently or more or less fragile or something like that.

Older Minolta SLR based Sonys should technically be no different to any other regular DSLR.

Also thanks for the rejig of the lost memory module that stored the name of the eyelead gel stick that Leica uses too .. couldn't for the life of me remember the name of it.

I have no idea of what brand Mansurov is selling .. didn't really look into it, nor did I get past the $50 price! But looking quickly at the images he has on his site, it's looking identical to the cheapie I have.
